Some folks call that micromanagement, which imo is the most successful psyop people have invented to be left alone. It’s true that leaders being in the weeds creates more uncomfortable conversations, more tension, more hard work for everyone. But if it leads to better outcomes,

I suspect Founder Mode will end up being one of Paul Graham’s most important observations. The thing that most non-founders don’t understand (that Steve Jobs and Brian Chesky do) is that everyone good prefers this mode b/c it lets them do the best work of their lives.

I’ve made the mistake of trying to “hire good people and give them room to do their jobs” and ending up “hiring professional fakers.” But I refuse to play the victim. I take full responsibility for the mistake of hiring them and the bigger mistake of letting them drive.

I can’t think of a single founder I know who grew their startup into large company, tried the approach of “hiring and delegating at scale”, and didn’t end up with a disaster. From Paul G’s new essay, Founder Mode

Switching to founder mode is the best thing I’ve done at Brex in many years. What it means for us in practice: 1) Having a single roadmap for the entire company, where I’m the editor of what ships in each release. 2) Eliminate people manager roles. Leaders must operate at all

I thought this was a joke, but no, this is an actual quote from a Washington Post article from 2022. And they wonder why trust in mainstream media is at an all-time low. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0…

"Founder Mode" was an instant classic because it articulated something that thousands of founders already knew to be true but weren't sure how to put into words.

founder mode vs. manager mode

Bezos & Zuck were both micro-managers, deep in the details of the product and business. They never set expectations of autonomy, and they fired anyone who resisted their oversight. They might delegate low-pri work, but only until it became a priority (careful what you wish for).

Ah, one day I should write an essay on why virtual offices didn’t work. The bottom line is that it’s a coordination problem. We all collectively benefit from being in a virtual office, but it sucks for each of us individually — the individual cost exceeds the individual

FIRE doesn’t work for one simple reason. You can’t buy a sense of purpose and fulfillment with money. You need to earn it.

We'll get used to a post-scarcity world just as fast as we got used to having supercomputers in our pockets and access to everything and everyone at every time. Within a few years, we'll forget there even ever was such a thing as "having to work to live."

There's never been a more exciting time to be in tech. Everything must be rebuilt, and we have the tools to do it 100x faster than before.

Just realized I never said it here, but obviously I'm in full support of SB-1047. I'll repeat that I say this as someone who 1/ strongly leans libertarian 2/ hates the state and regulation (I left my home country for this specific reason) 3/ dislikes paperwork as much as the

This week in #ALX_AI we show you how to automatically send customized emails with customized cover letters and resumes to hiring manager with AI agents using Lindy. In 15 minutes you can set it all up. Enjoy!

Elon not being on this list reminds me of when the Nobel Prize didn't go to Einstein for so long (because of antisemitism) that it started reflecting poorly on the Prize rather than on Einstein

Flo Crivello Elon has the respect of the people that matter, and that’s all that matters.

10 years from now, we'll look at the cost of today's software the same way we now look at how shirts used to cost the equivalent of $3,500 in the middle ages sleuthsayers.org/2013/06/the-35…
